Abstract
Abstract A supporting panel for package comprises a rectangular base plate. Four inclining plates are formed at sides of the base plate, and provided with erecting plates, respectively. The supporting plates are formed into package members by folding the supporting panels along folds so that the inclining plates are inclined with respect to the base plate and the erecting plates are erected vertically. The packing device is composed of package members formed from the supporting panels which are opposed to each other, and partition plates disposed between the above-mentioned package members, wherein the supporting panels are connected with each other through partition plates. Plural wares can be packed one by one into parts into which a space between the package members are divided.
